Abstract
- Fluoroquinolones are antimicrobial agents that have a broad range of activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. Anaphylactoid reactions have been sporadically reported with fluoroquinolones. There have been a few reports that describes cross-reactivity between fluoroquinolones. We experienced a case of ofloxacin-induced anaphylactoid reaction, and confirmed cross-reactivity between ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin with the oral challenge test. Cross-reactivity between fluoroquinolones may be important, and avoidance of any fluoroquinolones should be mandatory for patients with hypersensitivity reaction to one of these drugs.
